Awater hose can spray water at an
initial velocity of 40 feet per second. use the formula
h(t) = vnt - 16t-, where h(t) is the height of the water
in feet, v, is the initial velocity in feet per second, and
t is the time in seconds.

a. how long will it take the water to hit the
nozzle on the way down?

b. assuming the nozzle is 5 feet up, what is
the maximum height of the water?

16

step-by-step explanation:

2 x 40 = 80

80/5

= 16

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
